| Abstract: |
The article focuses on the use of water and energy in steam-heated buildings in the U.S. It notes that steam heating systems are still widely used in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings since it aids in making these infrastructures energy intensive. It mentions that based on observation, steam-heated buildings uses more water than buildings not heated with steam. It states that it is saving energy is expected with buildings converted from steam heat to hydronic heat. |
